<p>i just studied everyday consistently. During the summer, i learned the writing rules, especially idioms, and studied for about 1-2 hrs a day. With reading, i made sure that i stayed focused and underlined important things, like topic, tone, opinions. the questions are always the same. (some people say that you dont need to read the passages, but theyre wrong. you NEED to read them. fast, but carefully.) With math, you just need to watch out for stupid mistakes. I am really good at math, but my first test sure didnt indicate that. it was all because of the stupid mistakes. make sure you answer the question. if it asks for y, dont find x. in all, studying definitely helped. went from a 1940 to a 2240.</p>
